Dear BABCPHL Members and Friends,
While the pandemic continues to ravage communities throughout the world, we are making strides, and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Vaccinations, coupled with increased knowledge about the virus, and the onset of the Spring and Summer months in the northern hemisphere, are helping us move in the right direction. And the BABCPHL is no exception! This year marks the BABCPHL’s 30th anniversary of operations serving Southeastern Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey and the State of Delaware. We are forging ahead with exciting plans from now through the end of December, and we hope you will join us.
On May 25 we are hosting our first in person program since before the pandemic where guests will be able to safely enjoy one another’s company. Our last “live” event was at the British Chip Shop, and our first face-to-face activity in more than one year will be held outside the “Chippy” in Kings Courtyard. The British Consul-General, The English Gardener Gift Shop, the Queen’s Carriage, and King’s Brewery are all joining us for an unforgettable BABCPHL fun-filled evening. Drink and dinner tickets will be given to each guest. People are invited to sit at a table and dine outdoors or to take away. Space is limited. Reserve your tickets before we sell-out.
On June 8 the first of a series of three BABCPHL 30th anniversary programs will take place. This special event will feature keynote speaker, Ambassador Pierce, and special guest, Mayor Kenney. They will discuss how the UK and the Greater Philadelphia region are positioning themselves to lead the charge and contribute to positive change and enhanced global partnership. The event will culminate with a taste of Wales, including a Penderyn whiskey tasting. Pre-registration is required to ensure you receive your whiskey kit on time.
Be sure to visit our website for a complete list of programs. Contact us with questions.
Sincerely,
Nick Lotz
President, British American Business Council of Greater Philadelphia
